Our Approach

Research Support Services is the central administrative function in the University dedicated to supporting the continued growth of research capacity and maximising the impact of research activity. Our team includes the Research Office, Research Accounts Office, Technology Transfer Office and Human Resources (Research).

We work in partnership with our academic colleagues, external funding bodies and collaborating institutions and organisations to develop research activities in all areas and disciplines.

For Researchers we provide advice and support from the moment you conceive an idea for research, from helping you find funding for your research through to putting together your application to a funder. We can guide you through financial regulations, governance and funder’s rules and procedures. When you secure funding, we will assist you in starting your research project and offer ongoing support in managing your project. Additionally we provide support in relation to knowledge transfer, commercialisation and developing your research career strategy.

For Disciplines, Schools and Colleges, we can provide reports and information to help you to manage research activity in your unit. We can also assist you in enhancing the research profiles of your academics, making their expertise more visible to the wider research community.
